The Journey of My Mother's SonAuthor: Dan Clouser
My name is Dan Clouser. I am a podcast host, author and a speaker. I founded and ran a nonprofit youth sports organization for 30 years called the Berkshire Baseball & Softball Club, which later became the BIG Vision Foundation. We ran teams, tournaments and a 130 acre sports complex. I loved every second of what I did. I loved working with kids and teaching them leadership skills and life lessons through sports and community service. I thought that I would have died doing what I loved. Then in 2019, I felt a calling from God for my wife, Sandy, and I. We decided to leave our comfort zone and start a new journey. A literal journey, selling most of our material things and setting out across this beautiful country in an RV with our golden retriever, Youkilis. Sounds crazy, but it was also destined to happen. You see I was raised by a hippy named Loretta Magary, she was a free spirit who quit her job and embarked on her own journey in the mid-1980's. Her journey started in a 1967 Plymouth Valiant with the back seat removed to make a bed and a .38 Special for protection. She later evolved into a 1978 Toyota camper. After she passed away in 2005, we were able to experience a small part of her journey by going through her old photos and letters. The people that she met along the way were amazing. I'll be conducting speaking engagements and writing more books on our travels. More importantly, this is our chance to continue my mother's legacy of giving back through volunteering. We will tell the stories of the people that we meet along the way through this podcast, blogging, and social media. This is truly "The Journey of My Mother's Son" and as Michael Franti says in the opening verse of his song, "Gloria," "When many little people in many little places, Do many little things, then the whole world changes." It will be our job to share and tell the stories of those "Many Little People" through this podcast and my writing.

Making Adjustments - Dan Clouser (A Monologue)
Episode 344
Thursday, 14 August, 2025
In this episode of the Journey of My Mother's Son podcast, we return from a one month hiatus with a monologue. Today marks five years that we have been traveling full-time in our RV. It also marks the first time in the history of the Journey of My Mother's Son podcast that an entire month passed without an episode being released. Why the break? Well, many of you know that Sandy had been in the hospital for eight days back in July. I you missed that, you can read the details about us looking forward to Brighter Days by clicking this link. One of the things that I talk about in this return episode is our need as humans to be able to make adjustments when life throws us a curve ball. That's what Sandy and I had to do last month. We planning on kicking off the presale campaign for my newest book, A Good Boy's Journey on my birthday and the book was initially slated to be released today. Obviously, that didn't happen. Instead, we spent my birthday with Sandy getting a kidney biopsy, so we made some adjustments. The presale campaign kicked off later than expected and the publication date will be later this month, but that's ok, we made the adjustment. Sandy's health was the priority and still is. Just remember in your own life, when life throws you those curve balls, you just have to bear down and make the adjustment. If you're interested in purchasing a copy of my newest book in the the presale campaign, be sure to do so now by clicking on the link below: A Good Boy's Journey Presale Campaign
